Prescription Drugs Argumentative Analysis

Decent Essays
For my category four, I created a argumentative essay on the misuse of prescription drugs. I give examples in each paragraph and summed everything up. At first I wanted to have an essay talk about three bad effects of prescription drugs. Then I would break each paragraph down and make a category about each of the individual projects.

    I am now going to go through all the facts of this case and my come to my own conclusion. The plaintiff, Big M Drug Mart violated the Lord’s Day Act and challenged the law. The plaintiff claim that the act violated section 2a because the act forced all peoples of Canada to participate in a Christian tradition when the charter states that all Canadians have the freedom of religion.

Also section 27 enforces multiculturalism and thus only celebrating a Christian tradition violates this as well.…

    Before beginning this course, I knew that I lacked confidence within my writing. People say that you are your own worst critique, and I fully agree with that statement. My writing was not terrible in some aspects, but I knew that it needed to be improved upon. I lacked the experience needed because writing was not something that I did on a daily basis. When I first started English 1302, the little confidence that I had significantly plummeted since my writing seemed childish compared to other students.…

    Americans use more prescription drugs than any other developed country. Prescription drugs only represent 12 percent of total health care costs in the United States, but the rising prices of those drugs is an issue that keeps reoccurring not only for patients, but for prescribers, payers, and policy makers. There are people that believe that the rise in price of these drugs is appropriate, but if they keep on rising in price, the United States will start suffering not only financially but medically.

The rise in prices of prescription drugs is an issue that does not seem to be going away…

    Over the years, the idea about legalizing drugs has always been a discussion. Although we use the general term, there was no specific type of “drug” mentioned in these arguments. It is obvious that some are more harmful than others, but overall, each drug could be as addicting than any other. There are many different drugs that have different effects. In my opinion, man-made stimulant drugs seem to cause more harm to their users more than “natural” drugs such as cannabis.…
